Cara Delevingne has taken on the role of Elton John in a new video for the singer's festive song Step Into Christmas.
The clip features the model and actress portraying the young singer-songwriter and takes place in a recording studio behind the scenes of the original Step Into Christmas video, which was released more than 50 years ago in November 1973. John said:
"I saw Cara at Glastonbury last summer, and we talked about how much we’d love to work together if the right idea came up.
"She’s hilarious to spend time with; we both have quite a self-deprecating sense of humor. When someone suggested the idea of her playing me in a riff on the 1973 Step Into Christmas video, I just thought it was the perfect opportunity. Thank God Cara thought the same because it came out great."
"Elton has always been an idol of mine," added Delevingne. "To say his music has had a deeply profound effect on me is an understatement. To be asked by him to play him in this recreation was a dream that I didn’t know I had until it happened. Honestly, I wish I could pretend to be Elton every day.
"I hope that Elton may one day return the favour and agree to play me in my not yet developed, written, pitched or funded biopic. Fingers crossed."
A new Elton John documentary titled Elton John: Never Too Late recently premiered on Disney+, and yesterday (December 18) the singer hinted at new music during an interview on CBS' The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Take a look below.
Back in November, John shared a new song called Never Too Late, a collaboration with Brandi Carlile.
He released his latest studio album, 'Wonderful Crazy Night', in 2016. He did also put out 'Regimental Sgt. Zippo' in 2022, but that was made up of previously unreleased recordings from 1968.
